Couldn't disagree more with you Gareth, the quality of Chadwicks is outstanding. When we get steaks / burgers / mice meat from there its far better than anything on the indoor market.

You told me it was beef?!

Ahh feck you knew I meant mince beef!

Although at Wigan market you may well be getting mice meat...

Chadwicks is over priced run of the mill stuff really, certainly nothing better than any local corner shop butchers. The best buy there is bottled beer from the Prospect brewery.

I'd recommend Toogoods farm shop out towards Parbold (turn down the side of Wrightington country club and Toogood Lane is about 1 mile down there on the right). They only sell their own bred beef stock and is properly hung, Fridays is the best day as that's delivery day. Local lamb, venison etc etc. If you're happy with the bright red run of the mill stuff stick with Chadwicks, the proper stuff's at Toogoods.

The shop on Toogood Lane sells top quality stuff. On the way towards Mawdsley or Ecclestone from Wrightington Country Club.


Most of the meat is produced on the farm - it looks different to most of the stuff you buy at the supermarket 'cos it doesn't have any crap added to it - and they only kill what they sell the following week or so so all very fresh.

Ooohh err missus !!

Will have a drive there and stock up sometime then, thanks for the recommendation

Greaves Butchers in Up Holland is top quality

Funnily enough, we've never bought anything from there.

Ive just sat at my desk and giggled for about 10 minutes repeating it out loud

This is possibly the weirdest thread I have ever had the pleasure of reading, but at the same time its hilarious!

There is one in Golborne, on the main road which leads into Ashton.
